Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'A book to stop you in your tracks.' Liverpool Daily Post 'An appealing mixture of compassion and adventure. A remarkable bestseller.' Manchester Evening News 'Jackie Pullinger is achieving goals that not even the combination of all the colony's isms and agencies, plans and committees have been able to come near.' Hong Kong Sunday Post 'Anyone less likely to go tripping into the vice dens of the notorious Walled City could not be found. Maybe her ignorance saved her ... or her courage.' Daily Mail

Reseña del editor:

Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished. It was a place of prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear. When Jackie Pullinger set out from England, she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a new treatment for drug addiction: baptism in the Holy Spirit. This new edition marks the 21st anniversary of this phenomenal bestseller, which has sold more than a quarter of a million copies around the world.
